kalamazoo auto accident attorney

You never want to get seriously hurt in an automobile accident, trust me. As a lawyer who specializes in representing those that do, I am constantly working on methods and practices to improve the outcome in these cases. By "improved outcome" I am referring to quicker and larger settlements and verdicts. For those unfortunate few who are forced to deal with the aftermath of an automobile accident, I thought I might share some of the things I tell my clients as we wade through the mess.

Having dealt with automobile accidents and injuries for nearly 30 years of my life (23 years as a Kalamazoo auto accident attorney and 6 years as a claims adjuster) lots of people ask me about the latest rage in the automobile industry, that being self driving cars. It is an exciting concept that we are moving towards no doubt.

Google and Apple are both investing heavily in products and automotive heavyweights such as BMW, Mercedes and Tesla are racing to get their products onto the streets.

One of the most costly benefits in your no fault Michigan auto policy is Personal Injury Protection (PIP). These benefits can either coordinate with your medical insurance policy which would mean the auto insurance pays secondary or not coordinate which would mean the auto insurance pays primary. Either way, PIP benefits may cover your medical expenses, medical mileage, in-home care services, wage loss, and replacement services for things like chores and childcare.
